I'm having the same exact problems, Menel. Before today, I was unable to access the regular link to the forum at all...but now things are just getting weirder.
Why are some new posts not showing up through this link Lommy gave us, but they do on the other one? Even more, why are some people able to access the regular link far enough to post without trouble, and others cannot?  And I wonder whether our new posts from this IP address are showing up on the regular forum address as well...

Yeah, this is really strange. I hope someone comes soon and fixes all this mess. There's more about it in http://community.livejournal.com/the...owns/7005.html, check at least the last comments by Lalwende and Rikae.

It seems half of the people are accessing the forum via http://69.51.5.41/ and half via http://barrowdowns.com and we can't see one another's posts....
 I think this is becoming disastrous...

Yes, exactly. Now we have two Downs or what? There's something for Hookbill.
I made some (and as you know me, even quite long) posts yesterday on this version and they don't show up on the other version at all. This is impossible, this is madness. And mainly, no one knows what the heck is going on around here??? That is the question. And I wonder what happens, if (I hope!) these strange "versions" are finally merged - would there be all these posts? In chronological order, or not? Or what? By the way, I noticed it counts differently my number of posts - on the other version, I am told to have one less post now (after I send this one, probably two). In any case, I already backed up the long Chapter-By-Chapter post I posted yesterday so that I don't lose it if anything strange happens. I surely hope not. And I suggest you other folks to do the same for posts that you'd have trouble writing again - just copy what you wrote into a notepad and save it somewhere. I think we have no choice, we just have to wait.

Dear me, it's The Return of the Wall!!
Or is it an Iron Curtain? Or a fairy tale about two lovers who can't reach each other?  I'm sorry that we are experiencing these difficulties. Unfortunately, we moderators are just as helpless as the rest of the members, and our attempts to contact the administrators, who are responsible for technical concerns, have not yet been successful. Until then, we will have to make do with what we have. Please do follow Legate's advice and make sure your posts are saved to Word or whatever writing program you use. Your patience will surely be rewarded, hopefully soon. And maybe we should start a new thread to tell each other what we are all doing with the additional time we have...

And, will the Sqwerls become Tribbles? Will Seven of Nine find a place in the Nine Walkers? Oh, the possibilities are endless. And to think that I saw it all on Goldberry Street.

I have access to three different Barrowdowns? One, from the IP address, that I can actually navigate around in. Two, I can see my usercp the memberlist & the search page and nothing else at forum.barrowdowns.com. Three, the one at barrowdowns.com, that I can navigate in as well. I saw the "secret" topics at the IP as well, but they are gone now. I'm inclined to think that one and three might be the same, because I can't log in on either. Then again not, because the link name for the active topics are different on each. Oh no wait, they aren't, because there are different posts on each one. Duh. *my head asplode!* I'm sure it's all a very complicated WW game, and the Mod of this one won't be popular for a while, at all, at all.
